Good point, I'll make fresh replies in the future.

The attached screen capture compared \GIF\01 Scenario+trim+border+rotate\0000.gif and \JPG\01 Scenario+trim+border+rotate\0000.jpg. Notice that the gif has extra large margins to the left and rights sides and a very small margin to the top (and bottom)? On web browsers, those extra margins appear as white. Perhaps it's transparency?
I ran the canti analyze option and it doesn't show the problem, so I don't know what to say about that (see attached txt).

This is bizarre. I finally got to see the weird sizes by bringing up a .gif in GiMP (kinda like the MS Paint of Ubuntu). It looks like the extra space that ImageMagick isn't reporting is transparent/empty (like the canvas is too big). And only .gif is affected (at least of the file formats tested). I will have to do some research to see why this is happening.
I'm guessing it's a problem with the way trimming works now. In order to force the trimming of a certain color, I have to add a 1px border of that color to the image and then trim. After trimming the algorithm then does a -1-1 repage of the image, but that may not be correctly adjusting the canvas size.

I see the problem. Look at the control case (#8) where Canti is simply resizing the image. The .jpg landscape image is being resized to 800x512, when you specified that it should be 600x800. This means that when ImageMagick encounters a resize in which the orientation is different (i.e. you have a landscape image, want to give it portrait orientation, but you still want to maintain scale and not rotate) then ImageMagick simply flips your input parameters to match the original orientation. I can probably fix this within Canti by having it do some checking before passing on the job to ImageMagick.

I haven't turned on my Kindle in ages. If I get a chance I will try it, but if it crashes for you I'm guessing it will crash for me as well. Also, I don't see the benefit of using .gif for comic scans... they're freaking huge compared to .jpg, and personally I can't tell the difference in graphics quality.
